comfort foods

Homemade cookies or muffins. Meatloaf. Fried egg & bacon sandwiches. When I eat for comfort I reach for high fat food because there is no comfort in broccoli.

I am eating one of my faves right now. Homemade chocolate chip cookies spread with a strawberry cream cheese & yogurt dip. It has yogurt in it therefore it is healthy right? It's a great dip for apple & pear slices, pineapple chunks (fresh) and strawberries. Havoc is eating it with apples at the moment. I am hoping that I can start a pattern that fruit is comfort for him

Havoc is covered in poison ivy. The spots started appearing slowly Sunday & we were not sure if they were just bites. Then more Monday, started hydrocortison cream, yesterday he was one big rash. His arms, his face, his neck, his stomach, the backs of his legs, his private parts. He just healed up from it on his butt. The doc gave us some oral steroids to clear it up plus I have to put hydrocortison on it & anti-itch stuff. Poor kid, no wonder he has been so whiny lately.

Oh poor Drake!I've only had it once - the week before my wedding. My arms and legs were covered, it was wrapped around my ring finger, even my face! If I wasn't so miserable, it wouldv'e been hysterical!!

I'm right there with the comfort foods. But my kids seem to prefer fruits so brownies. I'm hoping it stays that way!

Hi Stacey, hope Drake is feeling better. I can't stop thinking about that strawberry dip. It's taken me a while to figure out what it might taste like but I think I've worked it out and I think I like it!
